Political Primaries

[angus]

Go back to the way it was before 1968.  Smoke-filled rooms with people who actually follow public policy debates picking the candidates.  You'd have better quality candidates and a fair fight between the Democrats and Republicans.  It also removes the stench of populism from the process.  No more beauty contests, no more richest guy wins, no more drifting apart because of intractable social wedge issues.  Just one Democrat with a vision for economic prosperity vs. one Republican with a vision for economic prosperity.

Hmmmm.  Well, with a nonzero delegate count for Dennis the Menace I find it a tad hard to believe that informed people are the ones calling the shots.
